Well, I'm so sad tonight and the words won't come out right It's been a long day on the track and it's stamina that I lack So won't you run to me tonight? Tonight we could pretend that we're just lovers But I'll only ever be A middle distance runner My heart is beating hard and I'm off with a shot at the heart and my legs tremble from strain by the finish line I'm drained So won't you run to me tonight? Tonight let's not talk about next summer because I'll only ever be A middle distance runner Well, I'm so proud tonight of the woman you've become and I'm just too tired to fight so, my darling, I'll succumb. But you'll have to run to me tonight because tonight I will love you forever But I'll only ever be A middle distance runner.
